SummerFest at River’s Edge

  • River's Edge 4200 Avenue B Council Bluffs, IA, 51501 United States (map)

POSTPONED: We are sorry to report that SummerFest at River’s Edge, scheduled for today, Friday, June 7, from 6-10 p.m., has been postponed due to the increasing threat of severe weather in the metro area.

Their planning team met with Pottawattamie County Emergency Management, US National Weather Service Omaha/Valley Nebraska, and our local public safety officials to evaluate options and ultimately decided to cancel today’s activities.

The safety and well-being of our attendees, vendors, volunteers, and staff are our top priority, and this decision has been made with everyone’s best interests in mind.

New date will be announced soon.

Thanks to our partners at Iowa West Foundation, Back to the River, Council Bluffs Public Library, PACE, Kiewit Luminarium, The 712 Initiative, and The YMCA, SummerFest is FREE and packed with summery fun you won't want to miss!

The Drone Show: At dark (around 9:30 p.m.) Fantasy Drone Shows will light up the sky with 200 drones for a dazzling display unlike anything you've seen before!
